2019  Savigny-les-Beaune

"The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 1er Cru, grown on 30–50cm of alluvial soil over stratified hard limestone subsoil and matured in around 35% new oak, is blessed with an engaging, pure bouquet of red currant and cranberry jus, a palpable sense of minerality coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and vibrant red berry fruit, the 60-year-old vines imparting wonderful complexity on the finish. An outstanding Les Lavières that comes highly recommended." - 92-94pts Vinous

2019  Monthelie Blanc 'Les Sous Roches'

Monthelie Blanc 'Les Sous Roches' Soil: Oxford white marl. The extremely draining nature of the soil, combined with the repeated climatic incidents that this area has experienced for several years has made the production of this wine long and complicated. Exposition: East. The vines are planted on a very steep slope beneath a rock bank (“Les Sous Roches”). This dominant position offers a magnificent view of the vineyards of Monthélie, Meursault, and the Bresse plain. First Planting: In 2012 from massive selections of Chardonnays and qualitative clones. Plant Density: 11,000 vines/ha Harvest: Very small first harvest in 2017 (10 hl / ha), 6 years after planting. Vinification: Pneumatic pressing of the whole harvest. Natural yeasts. Alcoholic (11 months) and malolactic fermentation in barrels (30% new). Light fining and filtration on pure cellulose plates. Tasting Notes: Pure with little sulfur. Dry, clear, & precise character. Subtle fruit, prominent mineral flavors, and firm acidity.

2019  Monthelie Monopole

Monthelie Monopole

2019  

The fame of Pommard in the 19th century earned it the image of a wine that is both forceful and virile. In reality, time, terroir and methods of vinification of Domaine GERMAIN have all combined to create a more subtle reality, a wine that is both richer and more sensitive. Its colour is the deep, dark red with mauve highlights. Its aromas are redolent of blackberry, bilberry, or gooseberry, cherry pit and ripe plum. Often, wild and feline notes develop with age. At full maturity, it tends towards leather, chocolate and pepper. It needs to be given time to open up to its fullest extent and to display its mouth-filling texture, its firm but delicate structure, its fruit-filled mouth, and its chewy tannins, which by then will be properly smoothed down.

2012  Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru

2021  Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru

"Moderately generous wood sets off equally cool, pure and airy aromas of both red and dark pinot fruit that are much more floral in character. While not quite as mineral-driven, the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors possess even better depth and persistence. Note that this firmly structured effort will need at least a few years to better integrate the oak treatment. Good stuff and worth considering." - 92/Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound

2019  Savigny-les-Beaune

"A markedly more expressive nose freely offers up plenty of floral nuances on the red and dark cherry, plum and soft spice-inflected aromas. There is perfectly good if not exceptionally density to the middle weight flavors that possess a caressing but punchy palate impression, all wrapped in a lingering and balanced finish. This is sufficiently structured to reward up to a decade of cellar time and this is worth considering." - 91pts/Outstanding Burghound

2021  Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru

"Once again there is enough wood to notice though here it is somewhat more subtle on the cool if reserved aromas of mostly dark cherry, floral and a hint of crushed fennel. There is a seductive, even generous, texture to the rich medium-bodied flavors that offer good if not driving minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finale that is firm enough to repay up to a decade of keeping." - Outstanding, Burghound
